Some calling Rosefinches in the morning

Not many birds in the nets today but a calling Rosefinch „Karmindompap“ close to the nets while opening was nice, we heared them later as well from the ringing table.

Simon saw one at the Sandworm track that was collecting nesting material. Maybe it is attempting to built a nest.

Also Cora and Andrew had several Rosefinches „Karmindompap“ calling at the morning Observations at Worlds end one. Other nice observations were a Arctic Scua „Almindelig Kjove“ over the sea, a 1K Reed Bunting „Rørspurv” that had a funny call and was fedt by its parents and a Rook ”Rage”, which they did not see for a while.

Also many 1Ks at the breeding bird monitoring at Cormorant lake, 152 Cormorant ”Skav” chicks.

I will catch moths during my time here at Skagen and had my trap out but did not get much, three different species in the trap and one that I caught in the grass, Ematurga atomaria ”Lyngmåler”. It is a common dayflying one but quite nice. Yesterday evening I found one moths and one caterpillar on the wall without light. I have built one more trap today and will try it out this night.
